# GSOL DEX

## Solana Expansion

To continue expanding the ecosystem and unlock greater opportunities for growth,
\
Garuda DeFi is preparing to expand its decentralized exchange platform to the Solana.

{% hint style="info" %}
*This expansion does not aim to abandon the Terra Classic ecosystem. On the*
\
*contrary, the objective is to strengthen the Layer-2 ecosystem, particularly the GRDX*
\
*and GDEX tokens, by creating new utilities and cross-ecosystem value flows between*

## GSOL – Garuda Solana Platform

GSOL is a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange on Solana blockchain. It supports perpetual trades with up to 25x leverage and token swaps + orderbook + aggregrat route with low price impact and depth liquidity. GSOL will uses Pyth as data stream oracles with Chainlink as fallback for accurate pricing, so liquidations occur only at fair market prices, not at momentary spread spikes.

Perpetual trading is powered by [GLV](https://docs.garuda-defi.org/gsol-dex/glv-liquidity-pool) (Garuda Liquidity Vault) pools. GSOL routes every order against these pools and quotes the oracle index price rather than relying on an order book or external market makers. Liquidity providers earn 70% of the fees generated from trading, liquidations and borrowing fees.

## GSOL DEX Features Overview

GSOL DEX on Solana is designed as a comprehensive trading ecosystem centered around two core primitives: Spot Trading and Perpetual Trading.

**The Spot Trading** module integrates both order book and smart swap (AMM) mechanisms, enhanced by an internal routing system and aggregator to ensure optimal pricing, deep liquidity, and efficient trade execution.

**The Perpetual DEX** introduces a fully on-chain derivatives trading experience powered by a risk engine, keeper system, and dynamic trading fees, enabling sustainable leverage trading with real-time risk management.

Beyond its core trading infrastructure, GSOL DEX expands its ecosystem through additional features:

* [Permissionless Perpetual Markets](https://docs.garuda-defi.org/gsol-dex/create-perpetual-market) allowing anyone to create and list new perpetual trading pairs, driving open and scalable market expansion
* Yield Farming to incentivize liquidity providers and long-term participation
* Factory Token to enable projects and communities to launch custom tokens within the ecosystem
* Trading & Marketing Incentives, including Trade-to-Earn and Refer-to-Earn programs to drive user growth and volume
* Booster for Trading & Liquidity, featuring a Leaderboard system to reward top traders and liquidity providers

Together, these components position GSOL DEX as a modular, scalable, and permissionless DeFi hub on Solana.
